How to Book

How to book an ad in Assignment Abroad Times

Three things used to be hard — decide the rate, draft the ad, and book the confirmation. Here's how each works with Riyo Advertising.

PHASE 01
Decide the rate.
Used to need an agent quoting a number you couldn't verify.
Call or WhatsApp 9821984000 with your trades, country, and date. We quote you the official agency rates with all applicable discounts. Combined edition format (Single, Double, Triple) discounts are automatically calculated based on your candidate catchment.
PHASE 02
Draft the ad.
Used to mean a faxed proof, a phone call, a re-fax.
Send your rough text to info@riyoadvertising.com or WhatsApp. We format and design it. For overseas recruitment, we ensure your mandatory RA Licence Number and POE details are formatted correctly to pass editorial review. You get a design proof before publication.
PHASE 03
Release it.
Used to need a trip to a newspaper office.
Pay by UPI, NEFT, card, or cheque. Receive instant confirmation and reference number. Your ad prints on the Wednesday or Saturday edition, and a digital e-tearsheet lands in your inbox after publication for compliance records.

Advertising in Assignment Abroad Times, Bi-Weekly

India's leading weekly newspaper dedicated exclusively to overseas recruitment — in one minute.

Assignment Abroad Times is the premier publication that licensed recruitment agencies and international employers ask for by name. Founded in 1993, it has served as India's leading personnel export marketplace, linking manpower consultants and overseas employers with skilled professionals and technical workers seeking opportunities in the Gulf, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Published twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays, it serves as the ultimate hub for overseas job seekers.

Assignment Abroad Times is the primary print medium in India for overseas recruitment. Over half of its listings target Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, making it the default choice for recruiters hiring engineers, technicians, and tradesmen.

— The Riyo Advertising desk · Authorised booking partner since 2003

Booking it, though, requires strict compliance — ads must carry official Recruitment Agent (RA) licence numbers and POE approvals. That's where Riyo Advertising helps: we verify your documentation, draft the layout to meet editorial requirements, and secure rates 15–35% below counter, with an e-tearsheet delivered immediately after publication.

Recruitment Guide

How to Post a Job Ad in Assignment Abroad Times

Assignment Abroad Times is India's leading weekly newspaper dedicated exclusively to overseas recruitment. It is published on Wednesdays and Saturdays, linking licensed recruitment agencies with overseas employers and manpower consultants with Indian professionals looking for overseas jobs in the Gulf, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

What to put in the ad:

→ Job title: First two words, not buried in paragraph three.
→ Agency name: Company or recruitment agency name.
→ RA Number: Recruitment Agent licence number and POE details — mandatory for overseas recruitment.
→ Qualifications: Key qualifications and years of experience.
→ Location: Country and job location. Be specific.
→ Salary: Salary range and employment benefits (food, accommodation, ticket).
→ How to apply: Email, portal, WhatsApp, or phone.

Why your job ad isn't getting applications:

✕ Wrong day: Wednesday suits engineers and technicians; Saturday pulls the strongest overall response. Serious recruiters book both.
✕ Missing RA Licence: Emigration regulations require the RA number. Missing documentation will get the ad rejected by the desk.
✕ No salary details: Overseas candidates expect salary transparency before applying.
✕ Incomplete benefits: Accommodation, food, visa, and transport details visibly lift response rates.
✕ Only running once: Multiple Wednesday and Saturday insertions produce far stronger cumulative response than a single run.

⚠️ Emigration & Legal Compliance Checklist

The editorial team reviews recruitment ads before publication for compliance with Indian emigration regulations. To prevent rejection:
✕ Never advertise recruitment without a valid RA Licence Number.
✕ Avoid misleading salary or benefit claims.
✕ Avoid gender-specific hiring unless legally justified.
✕ Avoid age restrictions without documented employer requirements.
✕ Avoid false visa or "guaranteed job" claims.

💑 Matrimonial Ads - An Honest Note

Assignment Abroad Times is a special-purpose overseas employment paper, NOT a family daily — there is no section here for matrimonial advertisements, and we do not sell them for this paper.

• National and regional dailies (like Times of India) provide a much higher reach for matrimonial ads.
• Call 9821984000 and we will reserve your matrimonial ad in the correct national paper during the call.

🕯 Obituary Guide

Obituary and condolence notices are accepted. However, a general daily is more effective for reaching the local community.

• Deadlines: Wednesday or Saturday edition deadlines apply. Confirm current cutoff before sending content.
• Requirement: Death certificate or doctor's note, deceased's photograph and text.
• Urgent: Call 9821984000 directly. Proof is shared before print.

⚖ Public Notice Guide

Statutory and public notices are accepted, though the paper's main focus is recruitment.

• Covers: Name change, lost documents, business declarations, legal notices.
• Deadlines: 2-3 working days prior. Since the paper only prints twice a week, plan your legal timeline carefully.
• Name Change: Notarised affidavit copy is mandatory. E-tearsheet shared automatically after publication.
